Welcome!

Hey there world...okay maybe world is a bit of an over-exaggeration...but welcome to my page! My name is Kassidy Beckstrand and I am the definition of a nerd. I love school, reading, learning, and the like. I could spend all day curled up with a good book and be perfectly content. I'm nineteen years old and a Sophomore at Utah Valley University-which I love! I'm studying Community Health and hope to obtain a degree to be a Physician's Assistant. My dream would be to get my PA certification from the University of Southern California (USC.) I'm a huge college football fan and root for the USC Trojans as if it were a life or death matter. l love to listen to music of any genre except for classical and jazz. I live with my boyfriend, Jacob, and our amazing 3-legged dog named Hope who is an Australian Shepherd Shetland Sheepdog mix. She's beyond adorable and I love her to death! We rescued her about three months ago from the Humane Society in Murray and it's truly the best and most selfless decision I've ever made. Even though we saved her, I like to believe that she saved me too. I'm blind in my right eye due to a rare disease called Uveitis so I'm allowed to have her as a service animal as well.  I really love to write, mostly creatively, but also in an academic setting. I have an incredible family who I love more than I can say. My dad, Rick, and my little sister, Kylee, live in Layton while I'm in Orem so it can be difficult to spend time with them. I miss them like crazy but they aren't too far away and my education is worth it. I love to play and watch tennis; it's definitely the only sport you would ever see me excel at! I'm excited to be able to put some academic work on a blog for people to see. It probably won't be anything great but it'll be fun to put ideas out there in an uninhibited manner. I'm a really strange person so a lot of the time my writing comes out sounding strange, but that's half the fun of it.
